These new codeshare flights will bring Argentina and the Dominican Republic into Cathay’s codeshare network for the first time while strengthening connectivity between Hong Kong and the emerging Belt and Road region of Latin America.
Cathay Pacific currently serves 6 destinations across 4 countries in Latin America — Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in Brazil, Mexico City and Guadalajara in Mexico, Lima in Peru and Santiago in Chile — through codeshare partnerships via gateways in Europe, North America and Oceania. The Cathay Group currently flies to 33 destinations in Belt and Road participating countries with close to 600 flights per week, with additional destinations served through codeshare agreements.
To support these new codeshare services, starting 25 October 2026 Cathay Pacific will be adding three more flights per week on its non-stop Hong Kong-Madrid route, bringing the service to a daily frequency.
Cathay Pacific’s Hong Kong-Madrid flights will operate on a staggered schedule, with the three additional flights on Monday, Thursday and Saturday providing customers with the option of a late-night departure out of Europe.
Flight schedules are as follows (all times local, subject to change and regulatory approval):
